is that dialog ever displayed in a normal Ubuntu use from the ui? (i.e not calling an upstream dialog by using a command line)

seems rather "low" importance and no worth assigning to the desktop team, that dialog is not used in ubuntu since indicator-session has its own session dialogs which don't have that issue

ignore those comments, the spacing is broken when using gkt3 it seems

gnome-session (3.1.3-0ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * 03_display_session_capplet.patch: display the session properties capplet,
    the list is cleaned from the system services now and it can be useful
    for users who want to start softwares with the session (lp: #802218)
  * series: comment 80_new_upstream_session_dialog, the modified version never
    went in upstream git and has issues with gtk3, if the upstream dialog is
    not working fine in our desktop we should discuss how to maintain a custom
    session dialog in a better way (lp:807503)
